The Buckeye Trail Camporee is a backpacking hike and a trail-building/improvement service project to be held at AEP ReCreation Land and on the Buckeye Trail in conjunction with the Buckeye Trail Association.

Participants will hike either a 5-mile or 10-mile section of the Buckeye Trail and also perform a 2-hour minimum service project under the direction of Buckeye Trail Association volunteers and Buckeye District leaders.

Patrols will be assigned a service project and location along the Buckeye Trail based on the patrol’s ability to work on trail improvements and on their hiking ability as indicated by the unit leader on the pre-registration form.

Tools for trail-building and all construction materials will be provided by the Buckeye Trail Association. Units are welcome to augment trail-building equipment if they wish to. Each Scout and Scouter will be required to hike approximately 5 or 10 miles with a backpack or daypack using map and compass.

Each Scout and Scouter is required to carry his or her lunch, trail snacks, water for the hike, work gloves, rain gear and other clothing appropriate for Ohio’s spring weather. Good hiking shoes are a must (boots are preferred). Additionally you may be asked to carry some trail-building tools and supplies needed for your assigned service project. Carrying tents or other camping supplies is not required.

If you have questions, contact Tom Pauling, Camporee Chairman.
